Wait? What’s happening?
Blame Canada?
Tales from the slack?
Where’s my onion?
I usually wear it on my belt.
Confound it!
Is this all pertaining to a Matlock reference I missed?
Where is my other sock?
Oh, it’s caught up in my suspenders.
When did I start wearing suspenders?
Confound it!

I got a Splunk T-shirt that says you can’t always Blame Canda on the front of it.

I don’t watch South Park and I understand the joke.

I’m of the age that I have never watched a full episode of South Park. My exposure is when I tune in too soon for the show I do watch. Well, rather the DVR starts the recording early by my choice.

I saw the South Park movie in a theater, but I was just young enough that Dad had to accompany me. (He really enjoyed the movie too.)

I could see an argument for “Blame Cana…”, purely because someone might otherwise think, “Why are we blaming Canola Oil?”, but anything more, let alone the full monty “Blame Canada”, is just too much.

Any Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 90s would get that reference no problem, and should have told him. Has there been a communications breakdown? Maybe their memories are rusty.

I have more than once uttered the words, “South Park is one of the best shows of all time.” I’ll die on that hill. I understand it may not be for everyone, but I think it’s brilliant and one of the funniest shows ever made. The only time I ever laughed as hard as I did for Scott Tenorman Must Die was for Blazing Saddles or Something About Mary.

The tears of unfathomable sadness. Yum.

Of course blame Canada has a totally different connotation in Western Pa.

Big South Park fan back in the day. I
saw the movie but needed Robin Williams to remind me of the reference. So maybe somewhere in between. Also Gen Z listed twice.

Typical GenX erasure. Maybe That’s The Joke?

Gen X. Absolutely got the reference.

Maybe Mecha-Streisand is more in DT’s wheelhouse.

Late millennial who never saw the South Park movie but watched it on TV all the time here. I got it immediately

I’m a Gen Xer from the early edge of the Gen X years, and I recognize it. Sorry David.

Gosh, they read us all for filth ~24 years ago.

Related: Tori’s Cybertruck piece on R&T referenced Bowie’s “I’m Afraid of Americans” in a subheading today and that made me really happy. Deeply underrated song and perfect for the point she made. (Nine Inch Nails even did several remixes of it, so given the “KN” discussion on the podcast the other day, this reference might also go over David’s head.)

He also covers it pretty regularly. Saw NIN in Boston last year and they played it, it was unexpected but fantastic.

Matt,
you’ve got gen Z in there twice: obviously the first mention was meant to be X.
Gen X here: did watch South Park, but dropped cable about 25 years ago. So I didn’t get it. ‘S ok, tho: I never fit comfortably in any target demographic

It’s from the movie anyways, which makes it far more likely to land as a reference

‘Blame Canada’ is one of those pop culture references that you can laugh along with even if don’t know the origin.

And Kyle’s mom is a bitch.

Gen Z is in there twice. As usual Gen X being ignored, but they like it that way.

Gen X, completely understood the headline, forgot it was South Park, must have heard somewhere, as I’m not a fan of foul mouthed 8 year olds.

Yeeeeeah…that’s a song that had a wider reach than just “South Park.”
